five boro bike tour time lapse

I took my old 300d out for a bike ride on sunday for the commerce bank five boro bike tour in new york. I mounted it on my handlebars and then built up a little circuit using a 555 timer that drove a hacked-together shutter release cable that I made from old nokia 3/32" headset and some speaker wire. I'm assuming that the 'build your own cable release' topic is pretty well-known.

I then strung the 1328 images together to form a 96 second video.

if you're interested in seeing some photos of the setup and the video result, they are located here:
